Anything light and rwd I'd imagine.

How about a 2wd S-10 with no weight in the back and rear brakes that will just lock up because they need adjusted? Shop truck!

You're all wrong. A John Deer Green with flat black racing stripes 1983 El Camino with a baller ass 305 and glass packs. Doin shitty's in the parking lot was never so easy.

Subaru Forester takes it home. So boring, all this traction, abs, stability control, ground clearance. Bout to start riding the dirt bike to work to keep awake.

My 94 tbird.... no trac lock, light rear end and sits lower than a stang by 2". 4" of snow it drags and you stop... all the trunk weight in world does nothing. My 03 or even better the 2011 w 280# tube sand in back does ok. I've walked a few times w the t bird.

My gutted old 85 mustang with a 306 and a stick. I don't know how many times that car tried to kill me in the winter.

Take a drive outside of the heavily salted and plowed downtown area. Havent seen the concrete in fairfax all month, rural areas get the shaft.

We had an '04 Mazda 3 that we bought with zero options and the manual trans. "Summer" tires combined with no abs/traction control/stability control or anything made it about the worst car I've ever driven in the snow.

all the traction control technology in my brother's 2009 lexus gs350 was not good enough for a mild january day in colorado.

it was dumb that we tried but during our drive from las vegas to iowa tried to make it through colorado with summer tires, had to get towed after getting stuck on the vail pass. had to put these on

AWD sports cars are very stoppable, the lack of ground clearance kills the fun:

Forester...basically unstoppable.

But was not able to pull me out either, a tractor with chains on the tires pulled me out. It was all ground clearance on this one, and anyone that saw it will admit, it was a suicide run.

Or like Ryan said, it was flat out "abuse"

I dont care, makes for a fun story, and we got shit faced since we were snowed in.

i could have pulled it out, if you had TOW HOOKS!!! and if you werent around it would've helped too. theres only one way to get a car out that is that stuck and its to tug.

I have cheap $35 per tire all seasons up front in the civic and haven't had a problem yet except during the last blizzard, I was plowing snow drifts behind the college and hit one too slow and ended up with the front wheels off the ground haha

I look forward to attempting to get the laser stuck next blizzard

I had a civic with some walmart all seasons, 195's I think and I could go about anywhere. But yea, get all the wheels in the air and a car wont go anywhere...that rhymed.
